Not able to reproduce on Windows 10; Emacs 24.3, 24.4, 24.5, 25.1-rc1

I tested in a directory with contents:

C:\Users\npostavs\src\emacs>dir /b bug-14680-locate-file-completion
bug-14680.el
isearch+.el
isearch+.elc
isearch+.el~

Evaluated the following from emacs -Q:

(load-library "find-func")
(add-to-list 'load-path ".")
(completing-read "Library name: "
                 'locate-file-completion
                 (cons load-path (find-library-suffixes))
                 nil nil nil (thing-at-point 'symbol))

I got

Possible completions are:
isearch+
isearch+.elc
isearch+.el~
